Lucila Pacheco Dehne

Rooted in a sculptural and installation-based practice, Lucila Pacheco Dehne’s work explores questions of intercultural resistance, fragile identities, and environmental concerns. Through fictional myths, she crafts texts that envision utopias and parallel worlds, creating new hybrids and seeking moments of solidarity. Her material-based practice extends to readings, performances, and cooking sessions, which serve as opportunities to foster community, as well as workshops designed to enable collective learning. During the two-year Planetary Poetics program Dehne researched different systems of oppression on plants in the EU, such as “invasive” plants, migrated crops and plants that were historically used as contraceptives and abortatives.
